Eastway Game Room
Bowling Alley and Video Game Arcade in the Eastway Center. Operated by Kent State University but rarely used by students so you can usually get it for yourself.

Rosie's Rations
Rosie's Diner
Kent State's Late Night Diner and convenience store. Sells breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert 22 hours a day. The food is very greasy and often hastily cooked, but on the flip side it's relatively cheap and it's quick. In the morning and around lunch Rosie's is pretty quiet, but at night, especially on Thursdays and Fridays, it gets loud and rowdy with a bar like atmosphere. You have to operate the register yourself - paying with a card here is far easier than paying with cash. Hold onto your receipt until your number is called and don't be afraid to ask if it gets loud. Requires a Kent State student ID to enter after midnight. Offers late night delivery. The grocery part is open 24/7 during the school year and offers a good balance between junk food and healthy food, but it's a little pricey for a traveler.
24/7, diner closes from 4AM-6AM$1.50-10
